It's not one I played, but a friend's husband played it on his daughter. At that time, she was a senior in high school. They had recently had a rash of car thefts in their local area.

In the middle of the night, he snuck into her bedroom, took her car keys and moved the car down the street. He then replaced the keys, all done without her knowledge. She had just received the car the month before as an early off to college, present.

When she woke up, she went to eat breakfast in their nook, which overlooks the driveway where her car was parked.

When she didn't see her car, she flipped out. She had assumed it had been stolen since the recent car thefts in their area and she was beside herself. The dad hung her out there until she went to call the police.

She always pulled little pranks on him, but I think he finally won, hands down. She had a good laugh afterwards. :)

My former boss' wife got him REAL good last year.
She was pregnant with their second set of twins. She had gone into labor about a week before her scheduled induction with the girls, had to call him at work, he had to rush to the hospital, etc.
She was due towards the middle of May (or that was as far as they were expecting her to go) with the boys. So on April 1, she called him and told him her water had just broken, one grandma was coming to watch the girls, the other to drive her to the hospital, and he needed to meet her at the hospital.
He rushed around, grabbing stuff off his desk, calling the other VPs to tell them he was headed out, etc, and basically did a complete and utter panic sprint.
She called him back about 2 minutes after he went running for his truck.
ETA: Before you accuse her of being overly mean (like I did)-boss' dad told me what he did to her about 10 years ago-right before their wedding. Apparently their rehearsal dinner was April 1, and as she was at home getting ready for it, he called her to tell her the wedding was off-and let her think that for a good 10 minutes or so.
He had some serious payback coming! I'd have killed him.

When I was about 12, I played a april fool joke on my mom, that actually got me grounded :(

While she slept I smeared vaseline all over her padded toilet seat. In the morning when she got up to pee she sat down, and slipped off the seat onto the floor peeing on herself. Yah....I was in so much trouble! :(

A co-worker, whose BIL worked for the IRS, sent me a letter saying that I was being audited. He created letterhead and included an official brochure. He sent it at the perfect time... it arrived in the mail on a Saturday so I stewed on it all weekend. I should have noticed that the letter was signed by "April Mayhem". He sent it to two or three other co-workers, so we caught on Monday morning.

When I was a junior in college I got some friends really good.

We were at a sorority meeting and at the end of the meeting there was a time for announcements. I stood up and said, "This is really hard for me to say, but I know everyone will support me. I'm pregnant and I don't know who the father is." (at the time I wasn't dating anyone and I was not the type to sleep around)

I kept my head down the whole time (so people couldn't see me smirking) and wore a loose fitting sweater. The whole room was silent until one of my friends got up to say something. Then I yelled "gotcha" -- their faces were priceless.

Back years and years ago I worked retail with a girl who was pg. I had her take a pg test for me so I could give it to DH (then FH). He completely freaked out. I couldn't hold the laughter back for too long so he knew almost immediately. Then we took it to his mom. It was pretty funny.

Funny thing, I actually got pg around that time the next year.

When I was in elementary school my friend and I pulled a prank that got us both grounded.

She was a classic klutz, always getting hurt. One April Fool's, we got ketchup and put it down one side of her leg, and smeared dirt and rocks around it, and put gravel pieces in the ketchup so it really looked like a really bad cut.

I ran to her house, banging on the door and when her mom answered, I was "hysterical" saying that Christina was hit by a car and we needed her to come to the parking lot NOW! Her poor mom started crying as we ran to the parking lot, with Christina laying on the ground and her leg all "bloody". We finally started laughing and we got in a world of trouble for the most aweful prank. Her mom called my mom - crying the whole time - and we both ended up getting grounded.

Ever since then, I haven't pulled another prank like that. The next year, Christina and I got one of our friends bras, froze it overnight, and hung it up on the flagpole near the pool for the whole neighborhood to see. To us it was pretty funny because our friend was very chesty. Shortly after that she wasn't friends with us anymore.

Now that I think about it, we were pretty rotten at that age. :o

Southerner, weren't you going to PM me about something?
but, I thought we couldn't :confused:

I'll add mine. DH and I were planning our wedding and we had booked all our vendors. A friend of ours had the local radio station call and tell me that the florist had gone out of business and we had lost our deposit. I went apeshit on the guy. It was on the radio and let's just say there was alot of *bleeping* going on ;)

When I was about 7 I walked into my mom's room still wearing my nightgown and my mom said in a panic "Oh no, there's a snake crawling up your leg!" I must've had a loose string or something hanging from my nightgown because I really "felt" it and screamed and jumped a mile high. Later that same day there was an actual garter snake in the house and I ran to my dad to tell him. He said "Yeah right, April Fool. I heard your mom got you good this morning!" I couldn't get anyone to believe me until I physically dragged them to the snake in the hallway.

I played a prank on my not so technologically-knowledgeable boss a few years ago. We all have the same style corded phone at work. I taped down the little clicker thing so when he picked up the phone it would still ring. Since I didn't want anyone too important to call, I made sure as soon as he got in that I had a secretary down the hall call his phone. I was sitting at my desk chuckling as I heard him mumble "What the....Come on.....Nikki!!!! How do I get my phone to stop ringing? I picked up the hand set!" He felt pretty goofy when I pointed out what was taped down.:p

My DH and a friend pulled a great prank a few years ago at his work. They went to everyone on their floor's desk and took the cord on their phone that leads from the base to the receiver. The phones still ring, but you can't talk on them. Then they got the key to their bosses office (who was coming in late that day) and put all of the cords in there. Supposedly, there was just chaos while everyone tried to figure out what was going on with their phones.

At work we play practical jokes all the time - we're accountants so we have to something to entertain ourselves ;)

I went on vacation last week and today was my first day back. While I was gone, my coworkers decided to play a prank on me.

They turned everything in my cube backwards. My computer and all its accessories were facing the back wall, everything from the right side of my desk was put on the left side of my desk and facing backwards, literally everything was backwards - they even turned around everything I had pined up on my walls.

Another thing we have done - get a bunch of the circles from a hole puncher. Put them in an envelope and tape it (with the envelope open) under the persons desk drawer. Every time they open and close the drawer a few paper circles will come out. It drives people nuts because they can't figure out where the circles are coming from since it only lets out a few at a time.

I guess these are more of pranks rather than jokes

One year, at my old job, my co-worker and I played a prank on our boss. We worked in the food service department which serviced a nursing home. There were always stupid things that happened (for real) so we knew we could get him good.

Sandwiches were part of the menu for lunch that day. So, I had found a REAL dead fly on the window sill somewhere. I took the fly over to the nursing home. I talked one of the head nurses into pulling this prank off with me. We put the dead fly in a sandwich that a resident only took a bite out of. Then, while I was back in the office, the nurse called my boss to let him know what they found in a residents sandwich. He immediately went to check it out & totally fell for it! We didn't let him know it was a joke for about an hour. It was priceless!

Every year, we tried to get this same boss at Aprils Fools. But, went a little too far and got in trouble once so that ended all our April Fools jokes from then on out....

My co-worker and I thought it would be funny for him to think that he had a leak in his radiator. He had just gotten his van back from the shop as he had hit a deer that spring. So we took a big jug of water colored with blue & green food coloring. We went out to the parking lot and poured it under his van so he would think it was really leaking. He totally fell for it... He was even lying on the ground looking under the van; he had the maintenance guys checking it out; he even poured water in his radiator to see where it was coming from. When he found out that it was a prank, he was P*SSED! Needless to say, that was our last prank we pulled on him!

Moral of the story: Don't play VEHICLE PRANKS on the men in your life... You will regret it!

My mum got a good one pulled on her this morn. Ok mum is a deputy manager at a rest home and shes good friends with her boss. He called her up at 7am, of course she was half asleep and answered it knowing it had to be the rest home ringing so early. So she answers it and its Stephen telling her that the home was on fire!! She immediatly hung up told dad what was happening and burst out of bed. She was in the bathroom when the phone rung again and dad answered it, dad finally clicked when he said he needed to talk to mum and once dad clicked so did ma. Needless to say there was ALOT of swearing going on haha! Of course Stephen was quite shocked that mum said nothing and just hung up on him.

I used to get my mom real good every year. A few of our favorites:

I taped the little button in the fridge up so that when the fridge was opened, the light wouldn't go on. She thought a fuse was blown.

I plugged up the sensor in the remote so that it wouldn't work. She couldn't figure out why it still wasn't working after she changed the batteries.

I got a blank warning from a teacher in high school and filled it out. I said that I was getting a C- in English (I was a pretty good student, so I had to make it realistic.) and I wrote on in the comments, "Tracie obviously did not read [insert whatever book we were reading at the time]." My mom KNEW I read the book!

I love April Fool's Day. It's may favorite holiday. Around 2000, right when Who Wants to Be a Millionaire was really popular, I played a good one on my DH, who at the time was my BF. He knew that I was dying to get on Millionaire and I used to call in every day and try to get the answers right. I was fanatic about it. Well, on April Fool's I had my mom call early that morning when she knew we'd both be asleep. I pretended like it was the Millionaire show saying that I'd been accepted to the show and that they needed to book my tickets and that I could take one person, blah, blah, blah...I conferred with DH about good times for him to miss work, what I would wear, etc. He was SO exicted! I finally told him it was an April Fool's Day joke and he was so disappointed!

The April after I had my first baby (who was 4 month old) I called my mom and started crying and told her that I was pregnant again and that I was just so upset b/c Helena was still a newborn...she totally fell for it.

This morning I went downstairs before DH did to start breakfast and I yelled for him to come downstairs quick! He asked why and I told him that there was a snake in the kitchen sink and to hurry b/c I was so scared. He flew down the stairs in his boxers and halfway down he saw my face and knew that yet again, I had gotten him!:D

Today my work had a fundraiser at the bowling alley. I was the one who announced the winning numbers for the raffle prizes over the mic and for all 3 shifts of the bowling I announced that the high bowler would win a free car!!!!! Followed by, "April Fools!!" The first time I did it, my boss freaked out!

HAHA!! This thread is great!!

I really got DH well a few years(2004) back. It was just after midnight and officially April Fool's. I ran into his office almost in tears. He was like, "baby, what's wrong?" I put my head down and told him that I was sitting in my computer chair and I thought I had to fart and basically that I had sharted instead. He never flinched, but instead looked at me, thinking I was just mortified and asked me if I was okay. I said, "No I'm so embarassed and now there's a huge mess to clean up!" And he said, "I'll help you clean it, it'll be okay." He went to hug me but I backed away as if my ass was covered in poo. He hesitated and said, "Oh sorry, I understand" and headed for our room where the "mess" was supposed to be. As we walked in the door I shouted, "April Fool's" and he turned around and hugged me because he was so thankful he didn't have to go clean up my crap!!! LOL!!! Another funny tidbit...I was going to melt a Snickers bar and have it all over my hands, but I had forgotten to pick one up at the store. :p You'd just have to know my DH...he gets grossed out SO easily, I was ***shocked*** that he was actually going to help me clean up my crap!! Gross I know, but it was so like me to do that to him. :D

The year before that(2003) we had just gotten engaged and I pulled the "it's a good thing we're engaged because there's a baby on the way." I got him that year too. Sooooo gullible my little sweetie. I got my mom with that in 2004, she was flipping because we were a month and a half shy of being married, LOL!

Last night I was going to call DH at work from my cell phone and tell him "we're going to have to stay at Stephan's house tonight(our neighbor), because I fell asleep while cooking and started a small fire in the kitchen." But I didn't do it, I chickened out because I didn't want him to freak out and actually leave work. One of the guys got him by telling him his car(read: his other baby) was being towed out of the parking lot. He got his boss by telling him he was putting in his 2 week notice(after being there for 9 years). They're all a bunch of suckers.

OMG I cannot believe I forgot this: I was in Office Depot the other night picking up cardstock and other random supplies. When I was walking towards the register, I happened to walk down the aisle with the DIY wills, etc. and I saw a DIY Divorce!! I came *thisclose* to buying it to leave on DH's desk for him to find when he came home from work, but I KNEW it wouldn't go over well. I told him about it last night and he cracked up and said, "OH BOY, am I glad we didn't go through THAT April fool's.":eek:

This wasn't a joke, just really bad timing. This really happened on April 1, years ago:

When we were kids, my brother would always fall asleep reading. He had a bunk bed, so he'd take his reading light and jam it in the crossbars of the top bunk so he would have light to read.

One night he fell asleep reading, and the light, still on, got knocked over and landed bulb down on the mattress. By morning, it had overheated and set the mattress on fire. My dad smelled the smoke and went to see what it was. My brother was still asleep (he was a very heavy sleeper) so my dad started shaking him saying "Mike, get up!! Your bed is on fire!!!" Mike rolled back over and said "yeah okay, Dad, April fools joke, right?"

Luckily, he realized what was going on, and no one was hurt, but it was real scary!!

i have to add my april fool's joke...changing some names though. this couple i'm related to...the husband is such a slacker when it comes to paying taxes on his house. he's always late and it drives the wife insane. i found a sheriff's sale notice somewhere and changed the names and dates...only thing different was that the sheriff was from the next county over. this couple was out that night and came home to find the note i left on their side door. the next day i called to check on them and found out that the husband was sick about it all night even though the wife had been online finding out that the sheriff was from the next county over...i'm evil...but i had help from my husband...and the couple i did this to are very closely related...needless to say, the husband finally admitted that it was a pretty good april fool's day joke.:D

Not as funny as some of the others but when my twin sister and I were in elementary school we switched classes on April Fool's Day (we were dressed alike because it was a Catholic school with uniforms) and took a test for each other - she was better in math, so she took my math test, and I was better in English, so I took her spelling test. We felt so bad, though, that we ended up telling our teachers by the end of the day!

Years ago I worked with a guy and we were pretty good friends. He always said no one could pull an April Fools prank on him. I saran-wrapped his car. Unfortunately I did not buy enough to cover the entire car so I ended up just wrapping it around the sides. It was a lot of fun.

I have a friend who works with a fun group of pranksters and she's sent me pics of their various pranks at the office.

They moved one of their bosses into the bathroom. His desk, computer etc. Evidently he spends a lot of time in his "other" office. LOl

They aluminum foiled the cubicle of a co-worker right down to the pens. Everything was wrapped.

They filled a cube with paper and saran-wrapped the entrance. I'll need to see if I can find some of those pics she sent. It's hysterical.

Last year my husband's company at the time had just gone through a phase where it *seemed like* every other day someone else was quitting; when someone left the company, they would send an email to everyone saying they were leaving, what they were off to do, and they really enjoyed there time there, blah blah blah. It became kind of a joke. So for April Fool's Day, a different member from their team systematically emailed the company every 30 minutes saying how much they appreciated their time at the company but that they were leaving. I think by the 4th or 5th one, HR intervened and told them to stop it :p, but they still thought they were pretty funny.

I played one on my mother when I was in HS --

I told her that my friend's mother was pregnant. My friend had an older brother in college; their mother was in her late 40s. I told my mother, with a perfectly straight face, that Mrs. P had thought she was going through menopause, thought she could no longer get pregnant, when, "Boom!" there she was, pregnant. My mother sat there, looking more and more horrified, saying, "Oh. My. GOODNESS!!" over and over again. Fianlly, I said, "Mother, what is today's date?" "April 1st," she answered. To which I responded, "Feeling a bit foolish yet?" When she asked me if I was lying, I told her to consider it an "acting exercise".

We played a good one on some of our co workers last year. One of my coworkers has one of those remote control fart machines. With our managers (Don) approval, we decided to plant it in his office and patiently wait for our first victim. Finally, one of our co workers, John, walked in to his office. Don set up the whole thing perfectly. He kept clutching his stomach and putting on an agonizing expression. When John asked him if he was okay, Don replied "My lunch isn't sitting too well with me". John went on to discuss his case with Don, all the while Don was acting pretty uncomfortable. When the timing was right, my friend and I started to set off the fart machine at random intervals. Don kept a perfect straight face and John (suprisingly) didn't even flinch. My friend and I weren't so good. Outside in the cube, we were l;aughing hysterically. Finally, John got pissed off, jumped up from his seat, and yelled out to us "It's not funny to laugh at someone when they aren't feeling well". And slammed Don's door shut (staying in there with him!!):eek:

We fell on the floor laughing. It took a lot to convince him that Don wasn't really sick.

Well my SIL just got fooled a couple of days ago by her husband. This time he did it a week earlier to really fool her.

She was at the airport (they live in a small town so this is easily done there) coming to Vancouver to visit us, her DH works at the airport. SO he surreptitiously put a big black dildo in her suitcase, and when she went through security (they were all in on it), they pulled her aside and asked her what this was, she said it wasn't hers and had no idea how it got there, they started asking her if she was part of a terrorist group, what relighion she belonged to and so many more questions. She was so embarassed and finally they asked her to take the dildo to the desk and gave her a bag to put it in and on the bag it said "APRIL FOOLS, GOTCHA!!!"

PErsonally if my DH did that i would have been livid, furious angry etc.

The two guys who run our customer training program are total pranksters, so everyone is always out to get them. The one also collects monkeys. One secretary who they are constantly giving a hard time gave him a stuffed monkey last year as a "peace offering" the day before April Fool's Day. She told him to hold it close and press the button on its hand and it would "hug" him. What it actually did was start shrieking and making rude noises and humping him! Now he keeps it on his desk and hassles new hires with it.

Got another one, same SIL, her DH again.

He got a repo man (friend) to come and take their jeep away in the morning, when she got up they were hooking it to the tow truck, said they were taking it because she wasn't making the payments, at the time they only had the one car. She was crying and so upset. then he said April fools.

I would kill him, i really would. I told her she has to get back at him this time and she has no idea what to do. I will have to read this thread and get some ideas.

My best friend had been dating her BF (now DH) for about two years. That april 1st, she and BF went to her parents house and put those fake storkes in the front yard that announce a baby. Her mom flipped, because at the time she was a sophomore in college. At first her mom flipped and then she realized it was April Fools Day.

Almost a year later my best friend found out she was PG. By the time she found out she was already about two months along, so she and BF decided to get married. When she called to tell me they decided on a wedding date I almost fell out of my chair - April 2nd, because it was a saturday and she wouldn't be showing yet. I thought to myself...how ironic. We laugh about it now though. They are getting ready to celebrate their 2nd anniversary and just had their 2nd baby.

Here's my plan for this year. First, I *NEVER* pull April Fools jokes because I can just never think of anything good enough. My mom, however, always gets a good one in, usually on my dad. Well, my brother also lives in Houston - about 5 minutes away from us -- and my parents are still in Indiana. My brother, for some reason, gets pulled over all the time for the tiniest of things (going 3 over the limit, "following too closely," etc). We all suspect it's his car b/c he usually gets searched too. Lately, he's been very vocal about how upset he gets (he got pulled over TWICE in 20 minutes and searched both times the last time he drove to Indiana). SOOO...my plan is to call my parents (hopefully my mom answers) right after midnight since she'll be asleep and hopefully won't think about it. I'm going to *try* to sound like I'm crying, and tell her that Bryan is in jail for going off on a police officer after getting pulled over. I haven't told my brother this, so if he's not okay with it for some reason, I'll just tell them that my husband got arrested for getting in a fight with someone who said something bad to me (sooo not like him to fight, but he almost did one day after some guy in parking lot said "F-you" to me and mom knows this story). I'm going to tell her that we don't have the bail money and beg her to send some money. Hmmm...now that I think about it, maybe I should wait till they actually send the money to tell them it's a joke! ;) :p

I'm actually really excited about it this year!! :D

mrs_pell ~ Did u pull off your AF joke?

Anyone else do anything today?

I told DH that I max'd out one of our CCs and nearly gave him a heart attack. I want to put food dye in the milk carton, but we don't have any.

No... :( Everyone convinced ** not too, saying that it was too mean. My brother said that he'd have no part of it. I was still going to do it, but after one too many glasses of wine last night, I really didn't want to be talking to my mom at all! ;)

I did end up getting my dad, though. I was talking to him on the phone and he's a HUGE Cardinals fan. Right in the middle of a sentence, I just said, "OH MY GOODNESS!" He said "WHAT?" I told him that I was flipping through the channels and that apparently during pre-game warmups, Albert Pujols tripped on something and they think that he broke his ankle. I told him that they weren't sure, but they said it looked like he may be out for a while. He was so upset! He started mumbling, "that's just unbelievable" and asked ** ** it was on ESPN 1 or 2. I told him I wasn't sure and he said, "well I can't find anything about it" and then I said, "well, I guess it's because it's APRIL FOOLS!" He started laughing and said I got him good! :) I tried doing the same thing to my brother but told him that Barry Bonds was in an accident and was out for probably the season (He HATES Barry Bonds), but he just said, "Yeah, and you're full of shit." :o

I could only think of something lame- telling DH that our tree fell down onto a portion of our fence. He was mad because he thought he lost his Sunday to cleaning that up. I couldn't think of anything else because I didn't want it to ** too mean. Tomorrow is my bday after all and I do want presents ;)

My dad's famous April Fool's joke was that he once sent an email to everyone in his department (50+ people) saying all of their benefits were cancelled and if they wanted to continue to have health insurance they would have to pay an exorbitant amount of money. Half of the people didn't get it and had a fit, and kept emailing him to complain. He kept responding that they should look at the effective date, but most of them were freaking out too much to get it and it took the whole day to calm everyone down.

The funniest part was that one of these women was subsequently fired for poor performance and she sued the company and used my dad's email as an example in her lawsuit of the horrible working conditions imposed on everyone by management (he was a VP). He had to go to court and explain to the judge that it was an April Fool's joke. He still thinks it's hilarious (my mom gets annoyed every time we bring it up).

My wedding is in 6 months, and I have 2 children, both of which were unplanned. I haven't been feeling that well lately, and was starting to stress about being pregnant. We have been really careful since our daughter was born 16 months ago.

I decided to take a test today anyway, and it was negative. But, I told my FH, sister, and mom it was positive. I was freaking out about being super big at the wedding, and everyone saying bad things about me. For some reason, they all bought it, which never happens. They always call my bluff. I'm sure it has something to do with my track record... :p :D Anyway, I got all three of them really good.
